Did you read my initial post, thoroughly? If not here it is again:
"In capoeira, _EVERYTHING_ (let me say this again)_EVERYTHING_ is tied to an orisha; the instruments, music, movements, rituals, _EVERYTHING_! Capoeira and Candomble are sisters with the same Afrikan parents. In fact capoeira is a religion within itself. *My favorite quote from an angolero: "Church?! I don't need church! I got capoeira!" "
Capoeira is strengthen by the orishas and the Earth. Shango, Oshun, Yemaya, Ogun, etc. are ALL revered by capoeira. Let alone the ancestors. It's completely haram!
